Abstract
A method and HARQ memory apparatus in a BWA communication system are provided where the HARQ memory apparatus includes a memory configured to partition the entire memory area in units of slots corresponding to the size of a concatenation block, to input/output a plurality of channel data to the slot in units of the concatenation block, to store a new concatenation block in an empty slot, and to combine a retransmitted concatenation block with a prestored concatenation block and store the combined concatenation block at a prestored location. Accordingly, the required amount of memory can be reduced by using a buffer efficiently. In particular, when a memory is embedded in an integrated circuit, the size and power consumption of the integrated circuit can be reduced.
